Working in these plantations is hard. The conditions that we work in are very poor and we get paid very little.
Hi there my name is Araba and I work in the coffee plantations. I dropped out of university because I failed my LES module because I couldn't write essays . I just hated the thought of sitting down and writing 1000-2000 words so I then decided that school is just not for me.
Greeting everyone, my name is Mr Bean and this is my assistant Teddy. We are here to inspect these plantations and collect the beans for today.
Good Afternoon everyone. I came here to inform you that the World Trade Organization has invited us to be part of a meeting were we can fight for our rights to be fairly compensated for our work so if we don't get what we want we protest.
Greetings gentleman . I have been advised by the World Trade organization to negotiate for better wage because this business benefits a lot from our produce so it only fair that we also get compensated fairly.
We will not be doing such you bunch of ungrateful people we give you your daily bread but you throw it on our faces. Leave now before we cancel the useless deal that we made.
Fair pay or no coffee.
Fair pay or no coffee.
Ten years later
From the protests nothing much has changed so I took a decision to become a activist to ensure that we raise awareness for the unfair conditions that people in disadvantaged communities like Ethiopia work under and negotiate for change.
